Marietta's column in The Weekend Australian, May 12-13 1984 re an American tourist at Taronga Zoo askingto see a thornbird, and Hinder's humour
'Unable to find the legendary bird in any encyclopedia, he proceeded to create his own. it's a marsupial with a beak like a kkokaburra, a pouch like a koala and a single breast ("because it only lays one egg.")
